Like the tree lines taking the eye through the photo. The bench adds character and the shadows highlight the photo. Lovely colours of green
Thanks for sharing

Amazing depth of field. Love the great textures and the play of the light and shadows, nice lighting, beautiful details and sharp focus. The bench adds much to scene. Well done

Thanks so much Aesma, there are several other benches along the area but decided to just incorporate the one. It is a fairly quiet street with just the odd jogger and person walking dog.

Looks like a big park Mary. A wonderful green area in the suburbs. Trees look like they've been there a long time and with the benches it definitely looks like a park. Nice place to walk and a pretty view. I can see why you like it there.

How neat to see the old homes with their great yards and landscapes. Love the rows of trees, a single bench, focused and framed. Good angle.

Comment from jrconrad
Looks like a delightful place. Your picture is nicely focused--very sharp--and the colors are nice and vibrant. I would suggest cropping out some of the lawn on the lower half. I would crop it so the bench is about a fourth of the way up. That expanse of lawn doesn't really add much. Try it and see if you like it. Cheers, JR.

Thanks James, like your suggestion. Was trying to show the expanse of the avenue but I also like the tighter crop.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
A good entry for the Color Green photo contest.

This is nicely composed with that bench as a focal point. I really like seeing the patterns on the trees and smoothness on the grass.

It does have a visual pull that takes us into the interior. Vertical format you applied to give a tunnel feel and it works. You POV is also very good, were you hanging from a tree? That POV is exceptional.

I like this quite a bit for the feeling it emits. Green is a healing colour, the colour of life and very restful.

You make me want to be there.

Technical specs well done with good contrast your depth of field is spot on with good focus throughout all the planes of the image.

WEll done. .....and all is well with the world.
